Here you will find information and ideas relating to how one can be more free in a society that appears to limit freedom of the individual, more and more. To master something, one needs to understand it first. I hope these essays will make you understand both the current system and your relationship to it.

Open Letter to "Authorities"

Below is a letter I put together some years ago in the UK.

The purpose is to get "Public Servants" to reflect over their role and the validity of their belief that their title or job gives them the right to order their fellow man around - especially when that fellow man has not done any harm or violated any agreement.

I put it here so that those who want to copy it and/or alter it to fit some specific situation can do so.

It can also be used to give to unquestioning "Order-followers" or "Law-followers" so they get something to think about. You know those people, without which there would not have been any wars, false information spread, imprisonment of peaceful people, enslavement, etc.

Here is the letter:

An Open Letter to
all that believe they have the authority to command a peaceful fellow
man:

You have been given
this paper since you seem to demonstrate by your actions or words
that you believe that you have the right or authority to command the
person who sent you or gave you this

– whether that
person agrees or not.

I want you to read and
consider the points below thoroughly, and then in your own words
explain again how you have the right to do what you claim you can do.

Here is a series of
assumptions or self evident truths, that seem to be held as true by
most people:

All men (man: a
flesh, blood and soul member of mankind no matter what sex or age)
are created by a creative force or creator, such as Nature or some
Divine Entity.

All men are born
equal and with equal natural rights to life, liberty, peace, free
will, interaction with other men, property, self defence, etc.

No man is born a
slave. The corollary of this is that no man is another man's master.
This leads to the conclusion that no group of men (no matter how
large or small) can exert its will over another man (or group of
men) without his/their consent.

Man created
fictional things such as man-made laws, Nations, Governments,
Municipalities, Courts, Military, Police forces, Corporations,
Banks, Trusts, Money, Negotiable Instruments, etc. to facilitate a functional society. All these
fictions are there to serve and protect man, not to rule him or lord
over him. These fictions, being words on paper in essence, can in
and of themselves do nothing, and are given life by living men
playing a role as an actor within that fiction. Thus all
responsibility for anything a fiction does confers on the man acting
out a role within it. Harming a living man not partaking in the same
fictional game, does not alleviate the man doing the harming, just
because he happens to play a role within a fiction at the time in
question.

The Creator is
always senior to the Created. The Creation can never be superior to
its Creator. The fictions in the previous point are all CREATIONS
and as such are subservient to a living man.

A man will forfeit
his natural rights when he steps upon those rights of another man.
Thus he who harms, steals, deceives one or more of his fellow men,
has by his actions given up his sovereign natural rights to life,
liberty, possession, etc. in that regard, and opened himself to be
punished, controlled by the other men of his society or the rules
they have agreed upon.

A man can by
agreement or contract give up his natural rights in certain
circumstances, such as when he choose to play a role in one of the
fictions listed in the fourth point above. (If he agrees to take a
position in a Government or a Corporation, he then agrees to follow
its rules and be subjected to the will of those holding a position
superior to his own in that organization – but only when he is on
the job, performing a function of that fiction and being paid for
doing so. When he acts as a private living man outside any such
agreements, he is in full possession of his natural rights and is
not subject to any man made rules. He is considered to be outside of
the fictions if he is not acting under the contract of employment
and is not getting compensated for his time performing a function of
the office held.).

Each man is
ultimately responsible for his own actions, this means that no
fiction can be responsible for anything. Acts done in the name of a
fiction were done by a man acting for the fiction, that man stands
as surety for the fiction and is responsible for his own acts and
answerable to his fellow man.

A fiction is in
its essence an idea or belief that only exists in words or thought.
It is a product of the minds of men. It has no presence in the
tangible universe, and thus is of a lesser standing than anything
tangible. A living man is tangible. He is to the fictions in point
four, what Nature or God is to him.

If you claim I
have to obey your orders or any rules you believe apply to me in
regards to the matter at hand, please produce the agreement or
contract and the schedule of work and the payroll showing I am
getting paid for performing what you claim I must do, or some
document that proves that I agreed to do what you call for without
compensation.

A man with clean
hands and a pure heart, who have done no harm to another man and who
is acting in his private natural capacity outside any fictional
office, can not be subjected to another man's will or the rule of
any man-made fiction.

Since the fictions
listed in point four are all subservient to its creator – man, and
since they were created to support man and protect his natural
rights, they cannot change their form to one where they cause harm
to man or violate his rights, and still be considered lawful and
valid.

A fiction deriving
its existence and form from the men that created it, can not gain
any right or authority those men did not each one possess
individually. As man has no right to harm, steal from, deceive,
murder, imprison, etcetera, any other man in full possession of his
natural rights, thus no fiction can possess the right to harm,
steal, deceive, murder, imprison, etc. any such man.

You have been given
this from one man to another. If you believe the assumptions in the
points above are false, please explain how that is – using only
logic or easily proven points. Remember, as men, you and I are equal
and no so called authority applies. Unless you can prove I am a slave
and you or someone else is my master.

As regards the matter
at hand. I was not acting as someone holding an office or function
within a fiction at the time. I was acting in my private capacity as
a living man of the tangible universe, answerable to no man or
man-made fiction. I did, as far as I know, not cause harm to any man
or put anyone at risk or danger at the time, so there is no cause of
action for anyone to interfere or meddle in this matter. If you have
an injured party in form of a fellow man, please produce it.

In Peace...
